Ten on Tuesday

1. Recital has come and gone..what a weekend. The girls did awesome and thoroughly enjoyed being on stage in front of the audience. They ate it up and would have definitely done it more than dress rehearsal and the actual performance if they were allowed. The only thing they didn't like - the lipstick I bought.

2. We had both sets of grandparents here for recital and the kids especially were super excited about that. It was really nice to visit with everyone.

3. Jason is home! He landed at 9:30PM Friday night and was on a flight with a company of soldiers returning from overseas.

4. A huge thanks to my mom for all her help the past two weeks. She watched the kids so I could go grocery shopping without four kids, go to doctors appointments etc. It was pretty nice.

5. Everyone misses school and their teachers. Especially Isabella. She was actually crying for her classroom and music teacher tonight.

6. It looks like Drew and I will both be having surgery this summer. Nothing major but with his asthma, I'm still leery of any type of anesthesia. Mine is just the annoying hernia repair.

7. I had round one of allergy testing yesterday and I am officially allergic to nature. I didn't even have to wait the entire 15 minutes to get a reaction on most of the testing. I'm hoping with shots, I'll get some relief soon.

8. Our new patio furniture was delivered last week. Just in time for the blazing summer sun. Jason and I insist on the kids being outside every day even if we aren't able to make it to the pool. We don't have any trees for shade and the best we could offer the kids, is a large umbrella.

9. Jason is registered for his masters classes and is just waiting for his schedule to be approved. I think he has around four weeks of work left and then he'll be a full-time student for 18 months. And no, we won't be moving on campus :)

10. We're looking forward to a four day weekend and a pool birthday party for one of he girls' friends this weekend. I hope everyone has a Happy Memorial Day!!
